The sun is setting over the project towers of the Bottoms, casting long, jagged shadows across the cracked asphalt. You’re sixteen, broke, and tired of watching Ma Dukes cry over the stack of pink eviction notices on the kitchen table. You’re standing in the courtyard with your brothers, Sean and Pat. Sean’s grandmother, Big Momma, is leaning out the third-story window, her voice echoing off the brick walls as she tells you boys to get your behinds inside before the streetlights come on. But you see Big Tone leaning against the dumpsters, and you know the night is just beginning. What’s the move?
